Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

Welcome to my online home!

I have been a lover of stories from the time my mother began reading Dr. Seuss books to me. I was raised in a home of storytellers and can’t recall a time when I didn’t think of myself as a writer. It’s not surprising that being a storyteller is my life’s passion and practice.

Over the years, family members and friends have been curious about my creative process. This online space provides me with an opportunity to share my journey as a writer with others.

I am fortunate to teach various English courses at a community college, run a weekly writers’ workshop, and coach writers individually. In each case, I enjoy supporting others as they discover and honor their voices as storytellers. Everyone has a story to tell. And everyone has a unique style.

I am currently working on a number of projects, including memoir, short fiction, and screenplays. In other words… I am dancing with my Muses whenever I can!

Enjoy!
